Verse 1
Your little ones, dear Lord, are we,
and come your lowly bed to see;
enlighten every soul and mind,
that we the way to you may find.
Verse 2
With songs we hasten you to greet,
and kiss the ground before your feet.
Oh, blessed hour, oh, sweetest night
that gave you birth, our soul's delight.
Verse 3
Oh, draw us wholly to you, Lord,
and to us all your grace accord;
true faith and love to us impart,
that we may hold you in our heart.
Verse 4
Until at last we too proclaim,
with all your saints, your glorious name;
in paradise our songs renew,
and praise you as the angels do.
